Yacht Charter in Spain

The Spanish islands are a popular sailing area all year round and are divided into the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands. Islands belonging to the Balearics include Majorca, Minorca and Ibiza, and to the Canary Islands, Tenerife, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote.

Majorca is renowned for attracting lager louts, but charterers will also find unspoilt bays (calas) and beaches. Impassable paths often lead to these bays, which limits the number of tourists visiting from inland. There are still has many calas undiscovered by package holiday tourists especially on the east coast of Majorca . Many who sail to Majorca plan on sailing around the island, this normally takes a week. But in order to fully enjoy the landscape, plan two weeks. It is recommended to sail around Majorca anti-clockwise as strong winds from the north prevail.

The most well-known cape in Majorca is Cabo Formentor. The rocks drop several hundred metres vertically into the sea. The northern tip of the island also forms a clear border in the island's typography. The north-west coast of Majorca is characterised by the Tramuntana mountain range. The rocks drop steeply towards the sea and it is difficult to build into the rocks. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that the coast is sparsely populated and has less tourists than the south of the island.

The neighbouring islands of Minorca, Ibiza or even Formentera are also worth visiting. Ibiza is the furthermost island and is located just short of 50 nautical miles from Andratx, one of the most beautiful harbours in Majorca. Plan 220 nautical miles to sail around these islands. This trip is especially worthwhile for charter clients who want to experience both the fantastic bays with their sandy beaches as well as the hustle and bustle of Ibiza Town.

Cabrera, a natural paradise, is located north of Majorca. The archipelago consists of many small islands as well as the main island of the same name. It has been a conservation area since 1991 and boats need a permit to approach it.

The Costa Brava, which stretches just under 80 nautical miles, is not only a worthwhile destination for beach holidaymakers and party-goers. Charterers will also find the fascinating steep coast, numerous small bays and tongues of land a great experience. The Cabo Creus, only a few nautical miles from the French border, is always a beautiful destination. Bays are lined up next to each other and even the most beautiful remote places can be reached by ship.

The Canary Islands, to the west of the African coast, are a typical yacht cruising area. The open Atlantic with its strong, at times stormy, winds, which can be treacherous along the land masses and gigantic mountains, is better suited for more experienced charterers. Every single crew that sails here has to have mastered sail reefing. In winter, this is still a fantastic sailing area for charter clients because of the spring-like temperatures and cloudless skies.

Climate

A moderate subtropical climate prevails in the Balearic Islands, even in winter it rarely gets colder than 10° Celsius. The main winds in particular make the Balearic Islands different to each other. The north wind prevails in the east of the Balearic Islands and in spring and summer the east wind. The strongest winds come from the north and sweep across Minorca without hindrance. In Majorca and Ibiza expect winds mainly from the west and south-west, in summer from the east. The local wind systems around Majorca and Ibiza are strongly distinctive with thermal winds. Jet and cape effects can be observed particularly in the east of the islands.
